	I'm of the opinion that factors like mode of social 
interaction, ease of improvisation, etc may not necessitate huge 
changes in setting providing your setting is rich and flexible 
enough, but depply change the types of game that work well in 
different contexts, which may well make particular settings more 
desirable.
	MMORPG and tabletop RPGs are very different, and probably 
always will be, regardless of technology. Different fictional 
settings will work better for one or the other.
